Description
Meet Fonio, African Supergrain. West Africa's oldest grain. This tiny ancient grain holds a place of honor in cultures and cuisines across West Africa. Organic fonio grain has been grown by smallholder farmers for thousands of years. In Africa, it's served to guests of honor, placed as a good luck token in kid's backpacks. To the Dogon people of Mali, it is The Seed of the Universe, the grain at the root of all existence. Fonio grows across the Sahel region: the semi-arid band between the Sahara desert and lush forests to the south. The Sahel regions hot, dry climate and poor sandy soil do not support most crops. But fonio flourishes. Its extensive roots help it draw water from deep underground and secure the topsoil from erosion, making it a climate-smart grain. Jollof Fonio Pilaf Mix, aka The Party is a rich, savory one-pot rice dish made with tomato, onion, bell pepper. We take all the flavors of Jollof rice and incorporate them in our Fonio Rice Pilaf blend, for a quick, nutritious version!
